Nope. It's way too hot. I'd have to roll the window all the way down if I did.
Oh, and it causes my seat belt not to fit properly. I'm at the highest risk of crashing while driving through snow so I'd like my seat belt nice and snug where it should be.
*For what it's worth, my car has been running for 10 minutes before I get into in so it's nice an toasty, and I have about an hour drive to work. I'd be dripping with sweat if I kept my coat on.

Winter coat? No. We don't own any. Only Hoodies.
Yes I wear them in the car. At times maybe we should have something with more oomphf to it but I the moron wearing light coats because I think it's silling to wear a heavy one when the car is warm and more than likely you are going inside somewhere warm. Those 3 minutes walking to the door never bothered me to wear something heavy.. If I was walking outside, then I'd change my mind,

I rarely wear a winter coat, in or out of the car. I always have on 3-4 layers without the coat and i enjoy being a bit cold over too hot. My winter coat usually stays in the trunk of the car with a blanket and other supplies in case of a winter emergency.

No, I do not and I do not allow my children to wear their coats in the car, either- a sweater/hoodie, maybe, but not a coat.
Wearing the coat in the warmth of the car makes it less effective when you exit the car into the cold. As well, wearing the coat makes the seatbelts/child safety seat restraints not fit properly and that poses a danger in the event of an accident.

I no longer own a winter coat since I've been in Florida for almost 8 years. Growing up, I used to live in Ohio and New York though, and my mom always made me keep my coat on.

Yes, I do.
I hate wearing coats in general so I usually just prefer to wear a sweatshirt and freeze if I'm not spending more time outside than it takes to walk into a store.
But when I do wear my coat, yes, I leave it on. It takes too long to get bundled up again.

If I'm just heading somewhere in the city then yeah I wear it in the car. I don't wait for my car to heat up everytime I go somewhere so its usually necessary. If I'm driving a distance then I usually skip the coat and wear a sweater and let the car warn a bit first.

yes, it's too much of a pain to take it off and then put it back on when I get to where I'm going but I don't wear big bulky winter coats I prefer coats that are made from a warm material but not big and bulky.

I have an attached garage so I don't wear my coat when I get in the car. If we are out somewhere and I'm wearing my coat already then I will wear it in the car.

A huge bulky coat, I would take off because its too much of a pain to keep on. Something that is smaller then I would keep on.
